“We wrote 'Desert Song' together last year, at our very first retreat in Palm Springs. That weekend was actually the first time all four women were in a room together, so we spent the time cooking and swimming, sharing stories, and collectively falling in love with one another. But we also wrote this song. And we conceived of how we wanted to shape this collective, what we wanted it to stand for, and how we would share it with the world. In ‘Desert Song’ the ocean is meant to represent the masculine relationships we used to turn to for validation, and arriving at the desert signifies the empowerment and love we feel by leaning into the strength and femininity of this group.”
Lyrics :
I bet when you see the ocean
You’re drawn to the strength inside the waves
But if you get caught within the ocean
The undertow will let you lose your way
I bet when you reach the ocean
Can’t wait to sink your toes into the sand
Instead you will sink into the ocean
And watch your heart pulled slowly from your hands
She’s calling, She’s calling
She’s calling, She’s calling
Someday you will reach the desert
Held by the warmth within the skies
Breathe in the exhale of the desert
And see your self reflected in her eyes
The moment you reach the desert (you realize)
She’s been singing a song of life and love
And to your surprise you’re singing with the desert
You’ve always known the words to sing along
You have a voice, You’re coming home, where you belong
She’s calling, She’s calling
She’s calling, She’s calling
